Second Chances

The Second Chances is a useful, productive, voucher program meant for those in need of clothing and household items.  This program is available through the YWCA of the Harbor Area’s – Julia’s Closet thrift shop during regular business hours.

 

This program facilitates a community outreach to those individuals and families that are in dire need of basic clothing and household items.  This provides an opportunity for those that are in need of a second chance to get on their feet, we offer basic clothing items, clothing for a job interview, children’s clothing, as well as items needed in the home.

This voucher program helps support those currently in a program of assistance already to supplement a temporary situational need.
